The 100% natural gas

Chapter 245 Three things! No room for negotiation!

Mr. Lu’s courtyard is not very large.

He likes quietness and seldom sees visitors.

Even if people from all walks of life in Gaoliu City came to visit, only a few of them could enter the courtyard.

There are not many chairs in the yard, and even if all the chairs in the room are moved out, there will not be enough seats.

But Lu Tang still moved out four chairs.

Mr. Lu and the chief immortal took their seats respectively.

The other two chairs were obviously for the Inspector Wuchang and the thirteenth young master of the holy land.

Lin Yan looked calm as he sat beside Mr. Lu.

But the Thirteenth Young Master just took a look and frowned slightly.

In his eyes, these wooden chairs were made of rough materials and were too cheap. Even sitting on them would stain the holy robes.

"Why don't you sit down, young master?"

Seeing this, Mr. Lu stroked his beard and said with a smile.

The Thirteenth Young Master said calmly, "When the elders discuss matters, the younger generation should stand by their side."

As he finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Yan who was sitting next to Mr. Lu.

"Okay, as a junior, I will just listen carefully to your instructions."

Lin Yan looked calm as he looked at the old man opposite him and said slowly, "The First Immortal has come here on behalf of the Holy Land. This Inspector, on behalf of the Heavenly Supervisory Department, would like to express his welcome! Lord Lu... let's start the discussion."

The atmosphere in the field was stagnant, and everyone in the Holy Land had extremely ugly expressions, with hints of anger.

As for the Thirteenth Young Master, his expression was normal, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

However, the young man named Yu Zhen was secretly happy when he saw this situation.

Lu Tang and Lin Lei looked at each other, feeling helpless.

Lord Lu coughed and said, "Master, please speak frankly."

The first master looked at Lin Yan deeply, and said with a smile: "Today when we arrived in Gaoliu City, according to the rules, we should go to the City Guard Mansion to discuss this matter with the current Grand City Guard."

"But my old friend happened to reach the realm of soul refining today, so I should congratulate him."

"When I set out, I didn't know Brother Lu was here. It's really rude to come to you empty-handed."

He said this and tilted his head to look.

The Thirteenth Young Master understood, took out a box from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "The First Master has been in seclusion for many days, and I don't know the news from the outside world, but my master heard that Mr. Lu is living in Gaoliu City, so he specially asked me to send something to you."

Seeing this, Lord Lu smiled and said, "I am a humble man, but I am honored to be remembered by the Holy Lord."

"Not long ago, a poem was passed from Qifeng Mansion to the Holy Land. One of the lines in the poem is 'One day the great roc rises with the wind, soaring up to ninety thousand miles'. The Holy Lord was full of praise for it."

The Thirteenth Young Master smiled and said, "Therefore, I reward you with this magic pen. I hope that Mr. Lu will produce more excellent works, strengthen the literary fortune of our human race, and help the road of the new law!"

Lin Yan looked normal.

Lin Lei looked a little strange.

Then Lord Lu laughed and stroked his beard, saying, "Thank you, Holy Lord, for the reward."

Hearing this, Lin Yan picked up the box and handed it over.

Lu Tang reached out to take it, but his expression looked rather unhappy.

He was in the ancient ruins, and the ban had been lifted, so he naturally understood the meaning behind it.

The chief immortal meant that he came to the City Guard's Office to discuss matters.

From the very beginning, I had no intention of coming to see Mr. Lu, and I had never even heard that Mr. Lu was in Gaoliu City, which meant that I had never taken him seriously.

Now that Mr. Lu has achieved the state of spiritual refinement, as the first immortal in the holy land, he is willing to show respect and come to pay a visit.

The most fundamental meaning is that this time I am not here to discuss things, but to give you a heads up!
Then he took out the reward.

What is reward?

When a superior rewards those below him, it is a reward!
They noticed that Lord Lu and Wuchang had a bad attitude and were quite hostile, so they used this method to tell Lord Lu that even if he was in the Spirit Refining Realm, he could not be above the Holy Land.

"I wonder why the First Immortal came to Gaoliu City?"

Suddenly a voice was heard outside the yard.

Everyone present had a high level of cultivation and had already noticed the movement outside the courtyard.

It was the person from the City Guard's Office.

The leader was the current city guard, and the one beside him was the city captain who had the power to mobilize troops from all sides in Gaoliu City.

Behind him were two deputy city guards and twelve senior officials.

"We are here to congratulate Lord Lu on your successful spiritual cultivation. This is cause for celebration."

The city guard stepped forward, bowed, and then said with a smile: "We just happened to be here, and with Lord Lu as a witness, it's a good time to discuss matters!"

"This is a serious matter, so we should conduct it in the City Guard House, which is in accordance with the rules." The Thirteenth Young Master frowned and said, "How can this be done in this small courtyard?"

"presumptuous!"

Hearing this, Lin Yan suddenly stood up and shouted, "The Chief Immortal is here to discuss matters with the Gaoliu City Guard. I, the Heavenly Supervisor, am here with Lord Lu to serve as a witness. Is it your turn as a junior to speak?"

"It is said that the Holy Land is prosperous and has strict laws and etiquette, which makes all the cities and towns scramble to emulate it!"

“Is this the gift of the holy land?”

Lin Yan stretched out his hand, pointed at the other person's face, and shouted, "How shameless!"

"..."

Everyone in the Holy Land was furious when they saw this.

The Thirteenth Young Master's face was even gloomier, and he subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

Seeing this, Lin Yan immediately reached out to draw his sword.

Mr. Lu suddenly coughed and looked at Lin Yan deeply.

Then Lin Yan let go of his hand with an expressionless face.

"I am the head of the Sixth Vein, but the Thirteenth Young Master is the Holy Lord's direct disciple and will assist in this matter."

The First Immortal finally spoke, and said calmly: "Inspector Wu Chang was too excited. He scolded the Holy Land for being rude. This has never happened in a thousand years!"

"I think it's a misunderstanding."

The city keeper smiled and said, "It seems that this young master hasn't taken his seat yet. Even if I came, I would just think he was an attendant."

Upon hearing this, Lord Lu stroked his beard and smiled, "Inspector Wuchang and I have a close relationship, and he has always revered the Holy Land."

"Before this, the Holy Land formulated the laws, which were passed down to Qifeng Prefecture and then to Gaoliu City."

"He is the Inspector of Impermanence, who strictly monitors the implementation of the law. He is the most law-abiding person in Gaoliu City!"

Following Lord Lu's words, everyone in Gaoliu City, whether it was the people in the City Defense Office, or Lin Lei and Lu Tang, had complicated expressions.

"That's true."

The Grand Guard stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "It is said that when the new law was first enacted, our City Guard Office was not strict in its management of its subordinates, and many night patrol officers violated the new law and beat up suspects... It was the Inspector Wuchang who admonished them!"

Lu Tang's expression became increasingly complicated. He turned his head away, unable to bear to listen any longer.

When he first met Wuchang, Mr. Lu asked the Outer South Division for Wuchang's files.

Before Wuchang was promoted to the flag-bearer of Linjiang Division, he assisted the night patrol in solving cases. In just over a year, he killed over a hundred suspects.

Beating a suspect is breaking the law knowingly.

But the suspect resisted arrest and was brought to justice on the spot, which was in accordance with the rules. This is the law-abiding style of Wuchang!
"In that case, I would like to thank Inspector Wu Chang for protecting the reputation of our Holy Land?"

The Thirteenth Young Master smiled and said, "It is said that Gaoliu City is not as prosperous as Qifeng City, but it seems that the ability to confuse right and wrong is even better!"

"Young Master, please don't be rude, or you'll give people a chance to criticize you!"

The chief real person waved his hand, looked at the big city guard, and said, "Let's not talk about small talk for now. I'm sure Gao Liucheng already knows that I'm here today."

His old face showed an indifferent expression, and he said: "It's nothing, just those three things!"

The Great City Guardian's expression gradually turned cold: "I cannot understand any of these three things, and Lord Lu doesn't know either. Please, Master, please teach me in person!"

"Alright."

The chief master glanced at Mr. Lu and said, "I heard that something went wrong in the Great City Guard's practice and there was a risk of losing control. After seeing it today, it seems to be true. Brother Lu should have seen it too."

Lord Lu frowned slightly, nodded and said, "The Great City Guard is indeed in poor condition."

"Gao Liu City is in the process of expanding the new city. It involves the survival of thousands of people and cannot afford to make any mistakes."

The First Immortal said slowly: "After consultation with the Qifeng City Guard Office, the Holy Land has selected a person to be the Deputy City Guard of Gaoliu City. He will be responsible for assisting the Chief City Guard and handling various affairs!"

"My name is Fu Shi. I was originally an elder of the Sixth Vessel of the Holy Land. Now I am appointed as the deputy city guard of Gaoliu City. Here is the appointment document. Please take a look."

At this moment, an old man walked out from behind the Thirteenth Young Master.

He was in his early sixties, with gray hair. He bowed slightly and smiled.

The atmosphere in the field was quite stagnant.

Especially the captain of the city who was in charge of the troops, and the other two deputy city guards, all looked extremely ugly.

It is not uncommon for the higher-ups to appoint a deputy city governor.

But he added that he was responsible for assisting the city guard in handling all matters!
This clearly states that this person's position in the City Guard's Office is higher than that of the two deputy city guards.

Once the Grand City Guardian goes into seclusion, this person can directly take charge of the Grand City Guardian's affairs!
And in the near future, if the current Grand City Guardian loses control, dies, or abdicates... then this person will be the next Grand City Guardian!
The current Grand City Commander and the two deputy city guards are not qualified to compete with him for the position!
"So the first thing to do is to decide the position of the next Grand City Guard?"

Lord Lu nodded slightly and said, "The current Grand City Guard and the high-ranking officials of the City Guard Office are all here! I am only here as a witness. The details can be discussed with them!"

The Great City Guard laughed but did not respond.

In fact, the Holy Land has already given him enough face.

From now on, he will still be the chief guardian of Gaoliu Castle.

But the next Grand Mayor will not be nominated by him, the current Grand Mayor.

"The second thing is that the candidate for the new commander of the Tianjian Division has been reported to Qifeng Mansion."

The First Immortal looked at Lin Yan and said slowly: "The current commander has lost his arm and is close to losing control. He is mentally ill and can't distinguish clearly. Therefore... all the candidates he recommended are rejected!"

Another elder from the holy land also came out, smiled slightly, and looked at Lin Yan.

"My name is Xu Jie, and I am an elder of the Sixth Sect of the Holy Land. I have been appointed as the Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Supervision Department of Qifeng Prefecture and have been ordered to assist the current Commander of Gaoliu City."

"So, you are the next commander of the Heavenly Monitoring Division?"

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "The Heavenly Supervisory Department is responsible for monitoring the entire city, especially the City Guard House! You two are both from the sixth vein of the Holy Land, so how can you actually monitor it in the future?"

"This is the result of discussions in the Holy Land Hall, and has been approved by the Holy Lord."

The First Immortal said slowly: "Inspector Wu Chang, you must be careful in what you say and do when making decisions about the Holy Land!"

Lin Yan had no expression on his face, but did not reply.

Then the chief immortal was heard to speak and tell the third thing.

"The expansion of the new city originated from the intention of the Holy Land, and now the expansion is on track."

"I also heard that Gaoliu City has suffered heavy damage recently, and many people have been killed."

"The population in my holy land is thriving. I am willing to relocate 38,000 people to fill the shortage of population in Gaoliu City."

After hearing this, the atmosphere in the field became even quieter.

Then the Great City Guard slowly spoke, "Although the expansion of the new city is led by the City Guard Office, it will be supervised by the Inspector Wuchang... Inspector Wuchang, what do you think?"

"it is good!"

Lin Yan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "There is no need to report this matter to the Heavenly Supervisory Department. I can make the decision. Approved!"

Everyone in the Holy Land was shocked when they heard this.

I thought this guy, who is young and energetic, would be the most difficult to deal with.

Unexpectedly, he was only so particular about small gifts, but quite decisive when it came to big matters.

Even the chief immortal nodded slightly.

The coldness in the Thirteenth Young Master's eyes also faded a lot.

The governor of the city was very surprised. He didn't expect Wuchang to agree so readily.

But on Mr. Lu's side, both Lin Lei and Lu Tang couldn't help but look strange.

Then Lin Yan's voice was heard again.

"But within this month, the Holy Land must send people to assist in the expansion of the new city."

"When the new city is expanded, all those who have made contributions will be rewarded and given a place to live."

"The greater the merit, the closer you are to the inside, and the safer you are."

After hearing Lin Yan say this, he continued, "But in Gaoliu City, all kinds of things are limited. People from the Holy Land must pay a sum of silver for food, clothing, housing and transportation!"

"..."

The atmosphere in the courtyard became solemn again.

The Thirteenth Young Master's face turned pale and he was about to step forward.

But he was stopped by the two elders, who shook their heads slightly at him.

Then the head monk took a half step forward, stood in front of Lin Yan, and said, "As you said, I can agree to it, but you are wrong about one thing!"

Lin Yan nodded slightly and said, "First Master, please speak clearly!"

The chief real person said calmly: "These 38,000 people should live in the inner city!"

As his voice fell, he glanced at everyone and said calmly, "What do you think?"

"..."

Everyone in the City Guard House, including the Chief City Guard, remained silent.

Even though they were quite dissatisfied in their hearts, their silence at this moment was a sign of acquiescence.

The City Defense Office agreed, and the matter was basically settled.

Lin Yan turned his head and looked at Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu shook his head slightly, indicating that he should remember his previous instructions.

Consider carefully and think twice before acting!
So, Lin Yan fell into silence.

"In that case..."

The First Immortal smiled slightly and said, "The matter of Gaoliu City has been settled! I will leave the city immediately and continue to discuss this matter with the newly appeared blessed land. In fact, it is just the same three things!"

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, Lin Yan suddenly spoke, looked at Mr. Lu, and said: "Listen to what Mr. Lu said, think carefully, and think twice! Just now, I have carefully considered it three times..."

He turned around, looked at the First Immortal, and said in a deep voice: "People from the Holy Land must help expand the city. When the city is built, we will live in the new city. No room for negotiation!"
